I really like my X3 720 BE. Got it up to 3.5Ghz, and I think i have headroom.
I'd recommend it. Some can be lucky and unlock the 4th core, but to be honest nothing really uses multiple cores anyway, so the 3rd is just a bonus for background tasks when the first 2 are used on a game
I highly recommend Gigabyte boards with the SB710 or SB750 southbridge chip, as they allow core unlocking with ACC.
Can get a good gigabyte AM3 board for £105, 720 is on offer for £93, and you can get some good memory for that last £60.

Friend has one, overclocked it to 3.8 on air. That'd give you some more space for better memory
